Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe day started off with a decaying high pressure wedge situated across the piedmonts of Virginia and North Carolina, while a warm front was making its way northward across Kentucky into the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. A strong upper level disturbance moved eastward along the warm front from Kentucky into the mountains during the early part of the afternoon. Several strong to severe thunderstorms developed by mid afternoon as the disturbance moved east of the Blue Ridge Mountains, interacting with unstable air due to strong daytime heating.
